The demand for calcium sulphate grew at 1.8% CAGR between 2017 and 2021, opines FMI. Sales in the market are projected to expand at a robust pace during the forecast period due to its extensive use in a wide range of applications.
Calcium sulphate is an inorganic compound with the formula of CaSo4. It is available in anhydrous and hydrated forms and known by different names such as Gypsum, Plaster of Paris, or Drierite.
It has numerous industrial applications and widely used in cement and plasters, pants & coatings, and others. Calcium sulphate contains one atom of calcium and Sulphur and four atoms of oxygen. It is widely used in the construction industry along with paints & coatings, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and others.
Growing trend of canned & fast food due to increased travel & tourism is expected to benefit the food & beverage industry, resulting in growing demand for calcium sulphate. A variety of processed foods contain calcium sulphate, a food additive used to stabilize and firm foods while also regulating their acidity levels.
Calcium sulphate can be found in creams, milk powder, cheese, dairy-based drinks, condensed milk, whey, and dairy-based desserts. Calcium sulphate is commonly found in grain-based foods such as batters, pasta, breakfast cereals, and bakery goods as a flour treatment agent. In addition, calcium sulphate is a widely consumed coagulant, which is used to make tofu.
Further, rising application of calcium sulphate in commercial baking, meat products, canned foods, beer brewing, and others will propel the demand. Brewers use calcium sulphate dihydrate in brewing beers.
It enhances the taste of the beer, improves its stability, and increases the shelf life of the drinks. Hence, the consumption of calcium sulphate in foods & drinks is anticipated to create growth opportunities across Northern Europe.
As per FMI, sales of calcium sulphate in the food & beverage segment is projected to reach about USD 344.5 Million by end of 2032.
The availability of substitutes in the market is the key factor expected to impede the growth during the forecast period. Low-cost alternatives such as calcium chloride, aluminium sulphate, and others are constantly threatening calcium sulphate.
As compared to calcium sulphate, calcium chloride is easier to make, more soluble in nature, and more efficient in manufacturing operations. Calcium chloride is widely used in a variety of applications, including wastewater treatment, construction, and other industries, due to its superior physiochemical properties.
In addition to this, stringent regulations imposed by the government on the excessive usage of calcium sulphate may also hamper the sales in the market.
Expansion of Construction Industry to Facilitate Calcium Sulphate Demand
Calcium sulphate is one of the essential raw materials used in the construction industry. Germany is considered to be Europe’s one of the leading construction markets. Increasing application of calcium sulphate in the construction industry will propel the growth in the market.
Favorable economic environment, high demand for residential buildings, and rising application in food and beverage industry are the key factors improving the demand in the Germany calcium sulphate market.
Calcium sulphate hydrated (gypsum) & dihydrate (plaster-of-paris) are widely utilized materials in the construction industry due to their physicochemical properties. These are used in the blocks, tiles, stucco, drywall, and plasters.
Additionally, preference toward green construction practices will also drive the calcium sulphate market. Calcium sulphate aids in the decarbonization of raw materials and the low release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Hence, it is a raw material of choice for green construction. Subsequently, increasing infrastructural projects in Germany are also favoring the growth in calcium sulphate market. According to FMI, the calcium sulphate market in Germany is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period.
Sales of Calcium Sulphate to Surge as Application in Food & Beverage Industry Rises
Calcium sulphate market in France is expected to benefit from rising applications in diverse industries. It is used as a coagulant in food & beverages, a thickening agent in paints & coatings and cosmetics, an additive in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and cement & plaster.
Construction, agriculture, and infrastructure industries are witnessing robust growth in France. Construction industry utilizes calcium sulphate at various stages extensively. France is the second-largest exporter of agricultural products; hence, the consumption of calcium sulphate in fertilizers is expected to surge with growing demand for food.
Further, increased consumption of fast & canned food is expected to create remunerative growth opportunities for the calcium sulphate market. As per the study, France calcium sulphate market is expected to reach about USD 1,997.2 Million by end of the forecast period.

Burgeoning Demand for Food Products to Necessitate Calcium Sulphate Demand
Growing demand for food and agricultural products is rising, necessitating the need to produce the highest possible yield with the available agricultural land. As a result, the demand for agrochemicals is increasing to maximize production from available land.
Farmers are using gypsum (calcium sulphate dihydrate) for the past few decades. Calcium sulphate dihydrate or gypsum plays a vital role in the agriculture industry. It is a source of calcium & sulfur for plant nutrition.
Calcium is an essential element for plants for the absorption of the most nutrients. It also improves the soil structure. It helps in improving the flocculation or aggregation and also increases the water infiltration & prevents waterlogging in soil.
Growing demand from the agriculture industry is expected to drive the demand in the forecast period. The agrochemicals segment is poised to expand at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.
Favorable Government Initiatives for Infrastructure Development to Improve Calcium Sulphate Sales
The dihydrate form of calcium sulphate, gypsum, is the most widely used form and important raw material in the construction sector. It is used in the production of Portland cement, highly specialized plasters (also known as gypsum plasters) for wall surfaces, wallboard, and cement blocks and mortars.
Due to ongoing and upcoming construction projects across France and Germany, infrastructure spending will continue to rise. Growing government infrastructure development initiatives in several countries are opening up new opportunities for gypsum producers to profit from targeting the construction industry.
Increased investments in infrastructure by governing and private authorities are creating significant demand for cement. Calcium sulphate is in high demand in the construction industry as it aids in the decarbonization of raw materials and the low release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The cement & plasters segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
Key players are collaborating with end users in building and construction, paints and coatings industries to increase their sales. The calcium sulphate market is also expected to benefit from infrastructure spending in countries such as Germany and the UK
Some of the manufacturers are capitalizing on growing construction projects, transportation, airports, roads, and railways infrastructure.
